PATIENT PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY

The user understands and agrees that in the performance of their duties they must hold medical information in confidence. The user has a need to access patient or medical information provided in GeisingerConnect and agrees to only
review patient information on a need to know basis. A breach of confidentiality occurs when the user inappropriately accesses or discloses patient information where there is not a need to know or a need to pass the information to
others. This means that unless the user needs the information to perform his or her job, the user should not access, disclose or discuss patient information with anyone. This includes medical information about the user, family
members, friends and co-workers.

USER ID & PASSWORD

The user understands that they will be assigned a User ID & a one-time use activation code. The user agrees to immediately select and enter a new password known only to them. The user understands they may change their password at
any time, and will do so every six months and/or when prompted. The user understands that they are to be the only individual using and in possession of their confidential password. The user is aware that the User ID and password are
equivalent to their signature. Also, the user is aware that they are responsible for any use of the system utilizing their User ID and password. This includes data entered, viewed, printed or otherwise manipulated. If the user has
reason to believe that their password has been compromised they will report this information to Geisinger and they will also immediately change their password.

BREACH OF AGREEMENT

A violation of professional standards for the protection of patient confidentiality is a violation of professional ethics and may be reportable to the State Board of Medical Education and Licensure. Any violations of this agreement
are considered serious and will result in termination of use & may include civil and/or criminal actions against the individual user and their employer/contractor. Your personal liability for any violation of this policy will
